Introduction
Currently, extraction method for selective purification of petroleum fractions is being actively developed. Selective purification provides removal of the components from the petroleum fractions, having negative effects on exploitation properties of commercial petrochemicals, obtained on their basis. Unintended components in the target product include poly-cyclic aromatic and naphthene-aromatic hydrocarbons with short lateral chains, sulphidic and nitrogen compounds and also resinous substances. The depth and selectivity of the extraction purification of the raw material is determined by dissolving power, as well as the selectivity of the solvent used - the extractant selected in accordance with the requirements for the quality of the product obtained, i.e., the group hydrocarbon composition of the raw material to be purified.
Among all types of commercial petroleum products, diesel fuel (trucks, railways, agricultural machinery etc.) occupies a special place, which is connected with an increase in the volume of car parks using diesel fuel. In particular, the volume of diesel fuel production in Russia in the period until 2030 should be 106-111 million tons per year [1].
Increasing demand for diesel fuel causes toughening the requirements for its quality, which proves the need to develop the processes
that permit to obtain environmentally friendly diesel fuels meeting modern and prospective requirements of European standards. In this aspect, a special attention is paid to the content of sulphur-containing compounds and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the fuel composition, as well as to the cetane number of fuel.
Accordingly, for improving fuels quality, in particular, diesel one, in recent years, along with hydrogenation methods of purification, extraction methods have been successfully applied using various compositions as a selective solvent [2-5]. Since, hydrofining method makes possible significant reduction in diesel fuel sulphur content, but in this case, aromatic hydrocarbons aren't reduced to the desired level.
The extractive method of purification differs both by the simplicity of technological implementation and possibility of simultaneous removal of the above-mentioned undesirable components from the composition of studied raw materials; at the same time, cetane number of diesel fuel produced is also increased. In the known methods for the extraction of petroleum fractions, organic solvents such as phenol, furfural, N-methylpyrrolidone, morpholine, sul-folane, aniline, diethyl ketone are widely used, they are characterized by high selectivity, but these extracts are toxic ones.
In this regard, the development of conditions for extractive purification of diesel distil-
late using non-toxic solvents, ionic liquids (IL) is a pressing task of oil refining.
Application of ionic-liquid compositions in the processes of extractive purification of oil fractions is presented in [6-9]. The researches results of desulphurization of gasoline (desul-phurization degree - 30%) and diesel fuel by the method of extractive purification in the presence of IL as a selective solvent are presented in [10].
The usefulness of IL in the processes of selective purification of diesel distillate by extraction method is revealed by the cycle of systematic studies carried out in academician Y.Mammad-aliyev Institute of Petrochemical Processes of Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences [11, 12]. In particular, it was shown that aromatic hydrocarbons in the distillate are decreased from 16.5 to 10.5 mas%, and sulphur - from 0.089 to 0.034 mas% by the IL on the basis of formic acid and aniline or morpholine as a result of selective purification of diesel fuel produced in Heydar Aliyev Baku Oil Refinery. Simultaneously, decrease in the content of resinous compounds was observed, which is confirmed both by the clarity of the purified diesel fraction and decrease in its specific gravity and refractive index as compared with the initial one.
High efficiency of using IL on the basis of N-methylpyrrolidone and formic or acetic acids as extracts is revealed in the subsequent studies [13].
Experimental part
This article deals with the results of the studies carried out on the raffinate and extract phases compositions obtained by selective purification of diesel distillate (DD) produced in Heydar Aliyev Baku Oil Refinery, as well as the fractions isolated by distillation of this distillate at Engler plant using ionic liquids on the basis of N-methylpyrrolidone and acetic acid as selective solvent.
Determination of the parameters of the initial DD and extracted fractions (Table 1) reveals that DD at a boiling point below 2500C is characterized by a low content of aromatic and sulphur-containing compounds relatively than the original distillate and fractions with boiling points of 250-3000C and 300-3450C.

Extractive purification of initial DD and extracted fractions was carried out at the weight ratios of: raw material:IL equal to 1:2, extraction temperature - 22-250C, and duration of the components contact - for 1 h. Purification selectivity and qualitative parameters of the raffinates and extracts obtained by selective purification of DD and corresponding fractions are set into Table 2.

III fr. 91.2 8.1 5.57 8.0 844 847.7 1.4702
As is evident from the results, the yield of DD purified under these conditions amounts to 78.83 mas%. The residual aromatic content in the resulting raffinate is 8.0 mas%, sulphur -577 ppm. The yield of raffinates obtained by selective purification of diesel distillate above fractions by the above-mentioned ionic liquid varies within the range of 80.0-91.2 mas%. Dearomatization degree of the I fraction of DD
is 37.5 mas% with a residual aromatic content in the raffinate of 5.0 mas%. Dearomatization degree of the II fraction is higher - 40 mas% than initial DD and the I fraction. The residual aromatic content amounts to 6.0 mas%.
The highest desulphurization degree is observed in the extractive purification of initial DD and the close-cut fraction obtained on its basis with boiling point of 191-2500C. In particular, the residual sulphur content in the raffinate on the basis of the long distillate of DD with boiling point of 191-3450C amounts to 577 ppm with desulphurization degree of 41.3 mas %, and in the raffinate obtained by the extractive purification of the fraction with boiling point of 191-2500C - 353 ppm with desulphurization degree of 40.77 mas%. The lowest desulphurization degree is observed for the fraction of DD with boiling point of 300-3450C and amounts to 20 mas%.
The raffinate, obtained by the extractive purification of the I fr. of DD has the highest value of cetane number (c.n.=54).
The results are confirmed by comparative IR spectral analysis of DD identified as a raw material, extracted from diesel fractions, as well as the raffinates and extracts obtained as a result of selective purification in the presence of ionic-liquids. IR spectroscopic analysis of the samples was carried out by infrared Fourier spectrometer ALPHA of BRUKER (Germany) in the wave-frequency range of 600-4000 cm-1.
As is evident from Figure 1, IR spectra of DD and extracted fractions are characterized by the presence of similar absorption bands:
- bending (723, 1376, 1458 cm-1) and valence (2853, 2921, 2953 cm-1) vibrations of C-H-bond groups of CH3 and CH2;
- bending (699, 722, 742, 781, 807 or 710, 1604 cm-) vibration of C-H-bond of substituted benzene ring.
IR spectra of the relevant raffinates (Figure 2) obtained by ionic-liquid extraction are characterized by the presence of:
- bending (722, 1376, 1457 cm-1) and valence (2853, 2921, 2953 cm-1) vibrations of the C-H-bond of the CH3 and CH2 groups;
- bending 722, 813, 807, 1603 cm-1) vibrations of the C-H-bond of the substituted
benzene ring; however, in the IR spectra of raffinates, there is a significant decrease in the intensities of the absorption bands of the C-H-bond of the substituted benzene ring (807 and 1604 cm-1) in comparison with the IR spectra of the corresponding initial distillates. IR spectra of the extracts (Figure 3) obtained by ionic-liquid extraction are characterized by the presence of:
- bending (1376, 1455 cm-1) and valence (2854, 2921, 2952 cm-1) vibrations of C-H-bonds of CH3 and CH2 groups;
- bending (699, 744, 782, 810, 872, 1602 cm-1) vibrations of C-H-bond of the substituted benzene ring;
- as well as bending (956, 1032 cm-1) vibrations of C-H-bond belonging to CH2 group of naphthenes.
Comparison of IR spectra of diesel distillates, raffinates and extracts proves the change in the intensities of absorption bands of C-H-bond of substituted benzene ring in the region of 807 and 1604 cm-1.
In particular, IR spectra of raffinates reveal the decrease in the intensities of absorption bands related to the benzene ring, while in IR spectra of the extracts, on the contrary, the intensities of these absorption bands increase.
Calculated optical densities of absorption bands 1376, 1357, 1455, 1604, 1033 and 959, 970 cm-1, respectively, characterizing bending vibrations of C-H-bond of naphthenes methyl group and the CH bond of substituted benzene ring, as well as bending vibrations of methylene and methyl fragments CH bonds are set into Table 3.
As is seen, during the extractive purification, decrease in the concentration of aromatic hydrocarbons in the raffinate causes decrease in the index of absorption bands optical densities, which characterize the benzene ring from 0.006 to 0.001-0.002, depending on the raw material. Simultaneously, the optical densities of these absorption bands are significantly greater than 0.013-0.022 in the corresponding extracts.
The presence of absorption bands related to CH bond in CH2 groups of naphthenes is observed in IR spectra of the extract separated
from DD and the above-mentioned DD frac- aromatic hydrocarbons during extraction purifi-tions, and it reveals the removal of naphthene- cation by ionic-liquid composition.

Conclusions
